      x86: cleanup early per cpu variables/accesses v4 · 23ca4bba
      Mike Travis 提交于
        * Introduce a new PER_CPU macro called "EARLY_PER_CPU".  This is
          used by some per_cpu variables that are initialized and accessed
          before there are per_cpu areas allocated.
      
          ["Early" in respect to per_cpu variables is "earlier than the per_cpu
          areas have been setup".]
      
          This patchset adds these new macros:
      
      	DEFINE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name, _initvalue)
      	EXPORT_EARLY_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(_name)
      	DECLARE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name)
      
      	early_per_cpu_ptr(_name)
      	early_per_cpu_map(_name, _idx)
      	early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu)
      
          The DEFINE macro defines the per_cpu variable as well as the early
          map and pointer.  It also initializes the per_cpu variable and map
          elements to "_initvalue".  The early_* macros provide access to
          the initial map (usually setup during system init) and the early
          pointer.  This pointer is initialized to point to the early map
          but is then NULL'ed when the actual per_cpu areas are setup.  After
          that the per_cpu variable is the correct access to the variable.
      
          The early_per_cpu() macro is not very efficient but does show how to
          access the variable if you have a function that can be called both
          "early" and "late".  It tests the early ptr to be NULL, and if not
          then it's still valid.  Otherwise, the per_cpu variable is used
          instead:
      
      	#define early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu) 			\
      		(early_per_cpu_ptr(_name) ?			\
      			early_per_cpu_ptr(_name)[_cpu] :	\
      			per_cpu(_name, _cpu))
      
          A better method is to actually check the pointer manually.  In the
          case below, numa_set_node can be called both "early" and "late":
      
      	void __cpuinit numa_set_node(int cpu, int node)
      	{
      	    int *cpu_to_node_map = early_per_cpu_ptr(x86_cpu_to_node_map);
      
      	    if (cpu_to_node_map)
      		    cpu_to_node_map[cpu] = node;
      	    else
      		    per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_node_map, cpu) = node;
      	}
      
        * Add a flag "arch_provides_topology_pointers" that indicates pointers
          to topology cpumask_t maps are available.  Otherwise, use the function
          returning the cpumask_t value.  This is useful if cpumask_t set size
          is very large to avoid copying data on to/off of the stack.
      
        * The coverage of CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS has been increased while
          the non-debug case has been optimized a bit.
      
        * Remove an unreferenced compiler warning in drivers/base/topology.c
      
        * Clean up #ifdef in setup.c
      
      For inclusion into sched-devel/latest tree.

      v2: seperate "fix for compiling when MPPARSE is not set" to another patch
          make X86_MPPARSE to be selectable only when acpi is set and
          X86_MPPARSE will be set if acpi is not set.

      x86: add optimized inlining · 60a3cdd0
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      add CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y.
      
      allow gcc to optimize the kernel image's size by uninlining
      functions that have been marked 'inline'. Previously gcc was
      forced by Linux to always-inline these functions via a gcc
      attribute:
      
       #define inline	inline __attribute__((always_inline))
      
      Especially when the user has already selected
      CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y this can make a huge difference in
      kernel image size (using a standard Fedora .config):
      
         text    data     bss     dec           hex filename
         5613924  562708 3854336 10030968    990f78 vmlinux.before
         5486689  562708 3854336  9903733    971e75 vmlinux.after
      
      that's a 2.3% text size reduction (!).

      x86: introduce /dev/mem restrictions with a config option · ae531c26
      Arjan van de Ven 提交于
      This patch introduces a restriction on /dev/mem: Only non-memory can be
      read or written unless the newly introduced config option is set.
      
      The X server needs access to /dev/mem for the PCI space, but it doesn't need
      access to memory; both the file permissions and SELinux permissions of /dev/mem
      just make X effectively super-super powerful. With the exception of the
      BIOS area, there's just no valid app that uses /dev/mem on actual memory.
      Other popular users of /dev/mem are rootkits and the like.
      (note: mmap access of memory via /dev/mem was already not allowed since
      a really long time)
      
      People who want to use /dev/mem for kernel debugging can enable the config
      option.
      
      The restrictions of this patch have been in the Fedora and RHEL kernels for
      at least 4 years without any problems.
